'IO ALL'WHOM IT MAY C()l\lCfi lRi\T:l v l A Be it known that I, HENRY E. Dos'rnn, of Bethlehem, in the county of Northampton, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cigar-Pipe; and Ido hereby declare that the following is a fiull, clear, and exact' description. thereof, which will enable those sliilled in the art to make and use the l This invention relates'to 'an improved method of smoking tobacco, whereby all the advantages of a tine cigar may be enjoyed, without incurring the'expense, andwlziereby the objections tothe vulgar pipe are obviated; And the invention consists forming a smoking-pipe in the form of a cigar, and so as to resemble it in appearance in all respects. l v

It is made hollow, so that it may bc filled with. tobacco, burned or smoked therein, like an ordinary cigar, as I will proceed to describe. The drawing- Figure 1, represents a cigar-pipe constructed' according to myinvention. Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of iig-1, through the line a: :0. i Figure 3 is a-cross-s`ection of iig. 1, through the'line yy. Similar letters ofreference indicate corresponding parts. '.lhis cigar-pipe is formed of an inner metallic tube, v@eeen in the sectional figures in yellow color. A wooden or other tube, B, which covers the tube a, and then an outside covering or wrapper of paper, cl, or other sui-table material, which-in color and appearance shall resemble tobacco, or the wrapper of a cigar.

D is the perforatedmouthpiece, oi', wood, amber,4 or other material,- Which enters the wooden tube B, and strikes the end of the metall-ic tube a, asvseen in the drawing. E is a perforated piece of porcelain or other suitablematerial, which is inserted in the other end of the pipe- This piece E is colored to resemble the ashes of a. burning cigar, as seen in iig. 1.

Through the body of the cigar-pipe there are small perforations, as seenat e, which extend entirely through the shell or tubes, for the purpose of admitting air Vto the tobacco within.

F is the space within the metallic tube, for the tobacco.. v

The tobacco is'iriserted by removing the piece E, Aor the mouth-piece D, and the cigar may be lighted through thcoriiice g, or by removing the piece E and'then replacing it. The cigar-pipe is cleaned by removingv both the ond pieces, D and E, and wiping it out. It will be seen that the cigar-pipe cannot get strong, rank, or foul, like the common pipe, on account of the diiiculty of cleaning, but that keepingit clean and sweet is a very easy matter.

A pound of tobacco will fill this cigarpipe over three hundred times. The choicest srnolting-tobacco maybe used, and every filling is equivalent to a good cigar, while the objection to the ordinary pipe, in thc street or elsewhere, is obviated. v

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patcnt- A cigar-pipc, formed of the parts A, B, C, D, and E, arranged substantially as shown and described, for the purposes set forth.
